The Bradley Family Leadership Educator In Residence program is a once-a-semester program in which Tulane hosts a scholar-practitioner of leadership theory and behavior to conduct leadership training, education, and development for the Tulane community. This program's design is grounded in the collective creation of a leadership learning curriculum filled with opportunities from across campus.
This program is typically a week long and offers a variety of ways to engage with the practitioner's expertise and wisdom. These could include: workshops for students, faculty, staff, or alumni; guest speaker in a class; consultative work with established teams; one-on-one mentoring sessions; and/or lunch and learn conversations.
The Leadership Educator in Residence Program is made possible by the generosity of Millie Pilié Bradley (NC '73; MBA '75) and R. Allan Bradley Jr. (MBA '75).

- Supervision Across Difference: Avoiding the Pitfalls
- Date & Time: February 21, 9-10:30 am
- Location: Diboll Gallery, Newcomb Institute
- Audience: Tulane Faculty & Staff
- Description: “I want people to come to work and just do their jobs!” “I don’t think race, gender, and or who you sleep with should matter in supervision!” These statements are just two of many that reflect the need for all who work within an organization to learn how and why understanding that difference matters in the workplace- both supervisor and supervisee. This session is particularly designed to create space for those who supervise to learn skills and discover ways to avoid common pitfalls and navigate the dynamics of difference. This session will have business partners from HR to help field questions as well.
